Brilliant book on Algorithms and Data Structures
By Estefano Palacios Topic on July 28, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
First of all, let me tell you on advance that I have not finished the book, but I am not nearly close to the "first pages" either: I think I have read enough of it to give it a good evaluation. I will post updates later, as need arises. UPDATE: I have already finished the book.

I don't know. Maybe it's because its presentation, the way the author narrates, or just because the renown of the book makes you biased, but as soon as you start reading the very first pages you know you are in for something very special. You know that, after reading this book, you will be a much better computer scientist. I will not lie: I am still in attending college, but I have always been a great programmer, and in all my programming classes I am top of the class. I was really full of myself before buying this book. How wrong was I!

The first thing you get after the preface is some advices on the exercises. The author tells you how some of them are really hard, or some are just really easy, etc. He also states that "There are far too many exercises for you to do read and assimilate them all..." When I read this, I gleaned each section and the amount of exercises (there are literally, thousands), and I said to myself: "I will work on, at the least, 80% of the exercises on each section. I will never avoid the hard or very hard ones" (Sedgewick explicitly tells you how to differentiate them). Alas, even some exercises that are not considered to be hard have been hell on me. Until know, I have been true to my word, but I will get into that later.

Of course, this book is not about the exercises, is about Algorithms, and I'd be dammed if Sedgewick is not considered among the best authors of all times on the topic.Read more ›

If you want to _really_ understand red-black trees.....
By Randall Helzerman on June 7, 2005
Format: Paperback
Any professional programmer would benefit from having these books at hand. Excellent discussions of the basic algorithms which every programmer needs to know.

But I would like to particularly highlight the discussions on binary and n-ary search trees. The most enlightening discussion in print, giving the reader a real synoptic view of search tree algorithms, how they evolved, and their culmination in red-black trees.

Other reviewers have mentioned that the algorithms as presented here seem to be just warmed=over versions of their C counterparts presented in the C edition of this work. There is a germ of truth to this, but I really don't consider it to be a valid criticism of the books. The point here is not to present C++ coding techniques, but to understand algorithms. If you want to know what a state-of-the art C++ implementation of Red-Black trees looks like, just read the source code which comes with the GNU compiler toolchain. But you're not going to have a prayer of understanding it until you first understand how Red-black trees work--that's where this book comes in. If you are trying to explain the Red-black tree algorithm, you don't want all of the C++ do-dads and optimizations, templates, etc, all cluttering up the presentation of the skeletal algorithm.

Great Reference and Refresher

Great refresher and reference. Used this book in college, and lost it. Worth buying again. Great examples and exercises.

I nice intro to algorithms
By Noah on November 8, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
These books were recommended by a professor of a data structures class I took as the kind of books that were worth keeping.

The author was very thorough when he wrote this book, even to the point that he'd has a classification scheme for each question.

In addition to that, I don't think I've found a typo in this book... ever. With that said, I've read the first book thoroughly but haven't read much of the second as graphing algorithms are not as important to me.

I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in algorithms and mathematical maturity.
